58 Terms

1
Degrees of freedom
which depends on how chi-square is being used.
New cards
2
The population standard deviation is 𝜎\=√2(df).

New cards
3
Population mean
μ \= df
New cards
4
Random variable
X^2
New cards
5
Squared standard normal variables
χ2 \= (Z1)^2 + (Z2)^2 + ... + (Zk)^2
New cards
6
The null and alternative hypotheses for GOF
may be written in sentences or may be stated as equations or inequalities.
New cards
7
Null hypothesis
The observed values of the data values and expected values are values you would expect to get.
New cards
8
Degrees of freedom GOF
Number of categories - 1
New cards
9
The goodness of fit is usually right-tailed

New cards
10
Large test statistic
Observed values and corresponding expected values are not close to each other.
New cards
11
Expected value rule
Needs to be above 5 to be able to use the test
New cards
12
Test of independence
Determines whether two factors are independent or not
New cards
13
The null hypothesis for independence
states that the factors are independent
New cards
14
The alternative hypothesis for independence
states that they are not independent (dependent).
New cards
15
Independence degrees of freedom
(number of columns -1)(number of rows - 1)
New cards
16
Expected value formula
(row total)(column total) / total number surveyed
New cards
17
Test for Homogeneity
used to draw a conclusion about whether two populations have the same distribution
New cards
18
Ho for Homogeneity
The distributions of the two populations are the same.
New cards
19
Ha for Homogeneity
The distributions of the two populations are not the same.
New cards
20
The test statistic for Homogeneity
Use a χ2 test statistic. It is computed in the same way as the test for independence.
New cards
21
Goodness-of-Fit
decides whether a population with an unknown distribution "fits" a known distribution.
New cards
22
Ho for GOF
The population fits the given distribution
New cards
23
Ha for GOF
The population does not fit the given distribution.
New cards
24
Independence
decides whether two variables are independent or dependent. There will be two qualitative variables and a contingency table will be constructed.
New cards
25
Ho for Independence
The two variables (factors) are independent.
New cards
26
Ha for Independence
The two variables (factors) are dependent.
New cards
27
Homogeneity
decides if two populations with unknown distributions have the same distribution as each other. There will be a single qualitative survey variable given to two different populations.
New cards
28
Ho of Homogeneity
The two populations follow the same distribution.
New cards
29
Ha of Homogeneity
The two populations have different distributions.
New cards
